Omar Abdullah (Hindi: उमर अब्दुल्लाह, Urdu: عمر عبدالله), born 10 March 1970, is an Indian Kashmiri politician and the scion of one of the state's most prominent political family, the Abdullah family who became the 11th and the youngest Chief Minister of the northern Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir, after forming a government in coalition with the Congress party, on January 5, 2009.

Omar joined politics in 1998, as a Lok Sabha member, a feat he repeated in subsequent three elections and also remained a Union minister; he took on the mantle of National Conference from his father in 2002, though he lost his own seat of Ganderbal during the 2002 state assembly elections, and so did his party, the political mandate; four years later, he contested once again from the same seat and won in the 2008 Kashmir Elections.

In a special edition of HARDtalk, recorded in front of an audience in the Indian capital Delhi, Stephen Sackur talks to one of India's most intriguing young politicians, Omar Abdullah. He is Chief Minister of the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir - a long disputed territory once described by former president Bill Clinton as the most dangerous place on earth. Is there any hope of Kashmir becoming a place of peace, not conflict?

Terming frequent violations of the ceasefire as a "matter of serious concern", Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed hope that the Centre would reconsider its decision of cancelling talks with Pakistan in order to end the border hostilities. "I hope that there is some rethink on this (calling off of talks with Pakistan)," Omar told reporters after addressing a public meeting in the outskirts of the city. India had called off Foreign Secretary level talks with Pakistan after Islamabad's envoy to New Delhi Abdul Basit went ahead with meetings with separatist leaders from Kashmir even after he was asked by the Centre to desist from it. Omar said the ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) and the international border were a "matter of very serious concern". "The ceasefire violations are increasing in intensity. They are no longer confined only to BSF posts. By design now, civilian areas are being targeted, civilians are being killed and injured. People are being forced to migrate from border areas," he added. Omar said as the communication between India and Pakistan has broken down, he does not know how the Centre will resolve the issue of ceasefire violations and its effects on the people of Jammu and Kashmir. "Given the breakdown in communication between India and Pakistan, I don't know how the Narendra Modi government plans to resolve this issue but they have an obligation to resolve it because they promised the people of this country 'acche din' (good days)," he said. The people living along the border are people of this country. They have as much of right to 'acche din' as anybody else but they are yet to see those 'acche din', he said. "If anything, they have seen their days go from bad to worse. Therefore, I think it is time for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government to fulfil their commitment of 'acche din' and restore peace and normalcy along the border," the Chief Minister said. Responding to a question, Omar said the cancellation of the talks was not the result of ceasefire violations. "The cancellation of talks was result of 'cup of tea'that has continued every year since 1994. It is part of Pakistan's, what they call, moral support. "To expect that Pakistan would stop this before an overall settlement of the Kashmir issue, is I think to expect too much of Pakistan," he said. Omar did not foresee resumption of talks with Pakistan soon as the Centre has said talks with Islamabad will not resume as long meeting with separatists continue. "Given that that the bar has been set that till these tea sessions continue, the talks will not resume, I don't know how we can expect the resumption of talks," he added. On BJP president Amit Shah setting his eyes on the election-bound Jammu and Kashmir, Omar said he was not worried about it as his National Conference was the only party which can stop the national ruling party. "As far as I know, the only party that can do this (stop BJP) is the National Conference. We will do everything possible to ensure that 'ab ki baari BJP ki baari nahi hogi' (this time it will not be BJP's turn)," he said.
In a debate moderated by TIMES NOW's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, panelists -- Dr Subramanian Swamy, Sr Leader, BJP; Dr Mehboob Beg, Senior Leader, NC; Maj Gen (Retd) G D Bakshi, Editor, Indian Military Review; Aslam Ghoni, Former Advocate general, J & K; Abdul Engineer Rashid, Independent MLA; Dr Sameer Kaul, Chief Natl Spokesperson, PDP -- discuss whether Omar Abdullah can link attacks at the border to talks with Pakistan.

Usual elements fishing in troubled waters: Omar Abdullah

The Buck Stops Here: In an exclusive interview, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah suggests that separatists are provoking the crowds to pelt stones and attack rescue workers. He tells NDTV, "Usual elements are fishing in troubled waters and provoking people". On the criticism that his government is missing in action while armed forces are carrying out rescue operations, he says he didn't have a functioning government for the first 24 hours as all offices were flooded and phone lines were down. The chief minister also says he is not here for the credit game and is very happy if all the credit is given to the armed forces.

Omar Abdullah's emotional Speech in the Assembly on the death of a young boy in Baramulla

Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah in an emotional speech in Legislative Assembly expressed his anger and dismay over the killing of a Baramulla Boy by the forces, describing it an unpardonable act and assured justice to the bereaved family.
"This is why I am vehemently raising the issue of partial revocation of AFSPA so that the erring forces personnel do not go scot-free", he told Legislative Assembly
Responding to the protest, walk-out by main opposition party (PDP) and dismay expressed by all the members of the House over the incident, the Chief Minister said that he is himself full with anger but he is not in a position to walk-out like opposition members. "You cannot feel the anger I am boiling with and the difficulty I am facing to speak at this point in time", he said adding that on the Chief Minister's Chair he has to give so many answers for the commissions and omissions of others. "I have to seek apology for the actions, I am not responsible for nor anywhere related to these. I am being asked to answer the question of Afzal Guru, return of mortal remains to his family, use of unnecessary force by Army. I have to give reply for every bullet they fire on civilian. What reply I have for my people in these matters", he questioned and said that when his people suffer it pains him deep; when his people are killed his soul gets shattered. "But I will get the reply from those who are concerned with such incidents. I will seek justice for my people", he lamented with anger.
"It is easy to say that Chief Minister of the State is all powerful but only those who sit on this chair can tell you how powerful a Chief Minister of the State is. Let you ask this to (Mufti Sayeed) father of leader of single largest opposition party, Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Ghulam Nabi Azad who have remained Chief Ministers of the State", he said and added that some opposition member has described him a daily wager. "I admit we are only daily wagers, our chairs are not permanent, we have to relinquish the offices after completing a fixed tenure so we are of course daily wagers and I have no hesitation in accepting it", he said.
Omar Abdullah said that though these incidents are highly painful and emotion raising but to blame the country, while getting carried away by emotions, is not correct perception of expressing anger. "Wrong doing by some individuals does not call for blaming the country", he added.
At this point in time when I had prepared myself to give full account of the achievements of my government while deliberating upon motion on thanks to the Governor for his address to the members of both the Houses, I am not in a position to say anything on this subject at present because a precious human life of a young person from my State has been killed and I am myself engulfed in anger and pain", he said and added that at this time he would only extend his heartfelt condolence to the family who has lost its dear one. "I also convey the condolence of this House and that of the people of the State to the bereaved family", he said assuring them justice. "I cannot bring back the dear one you have lost but my heart bleeds with you and my gloom is not less than anyone of you", he said conveying his sympathy and solidarity to the bereaved family, and concluded his speech.
